Interested in buying a Siberian Husky? Then you've already heard
how marvelous they are. We think you should also be told that they do have their
shortcomings and may not make the ideal pet for everyone who is attracted to them.

Siberians are a gregarious lot and may need the company of other dogs or of other people
at all times. If you work all day, or have room for only one dog think twice before buying
a
Siberian. While capable of strong affection for his family, the Siberian Husky is also
very friendly with strangers. So, if you want the fierce loyalty of a one-man dog . . DON'T BUY A SIBERIAN.

Al least once a year Siberians shed their coats. If you like fur all over the house and in
the very air you breath, then fine. If,however you value neatness at all times, then ...DON'T BUY A SIBERIAN!!!

Some Siberian Huskies have a natural proclivity for digging holes in backyards. If you
take great pride in your landscaping efforts . . DON'T BUY A SIBERIAN!!!!

Of all the shortcomings to be found in a Siberian, the most dangerous to the pet-owner is
their tremendous desire to RUN. But the very first dash that a dog makes across the road
could be his last run anywhere. A Siberian. for his own protection, should be kept
confined or under control at all times. If you are one of those people who think it is
cruel to kennel a dog, or keep him confined to his own backyard, then. . DON'T BUY A SIBERIAN!!!!

We just happen to believe that any dog is better off in a proper kennel or fenced yard
than
running loose all over the countryside. Yes, a kennel dog is missing a lot in life; the
chance to be hit by a car, the fun of being dirty, full of bum and loaded with worms; the
opportunity of being attacked by other dogs; the joy of being sick on garbage and infested
with disease; the pleasure of being tormented by mean kids; the thrill of being shot in a
farmyard; and finally the great comfort of never knowing where he belongs or how to
behave. We don't want to see ANY Siberian become a TRAMP!!!

If you have read this far and honestly feel that you qualify on all counts, and are still
determined to own a Siberian, then we take great pleasure in welcoming you to the fold.
join the rest of us in the smug complacency of knowing that we own the most beautiful,
the smartest, the most nearly ideal dog in the world.......THE SIBERIAN HUSKY
